It is really the only weakness that I consistently notice in our defense, so I guess I shouldn't complain. In all fairness McCray isn't actually that bad in coverage as long as the play happens in front of him; it seems to be when he has to turn and run with a receiver that he has problems.Bayou Banterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04542427600169460278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6700188048314290923.post-64073633103321682812007-11-05T12:15:00.000-06:002007-11-05T12:15:00.000-06:00That "special" animosity toward Saban will never b...That "special" animosity toward Saban will never be diminished.

Is that a good decision? I think against a team with a lot of good receivers, the answer is probably no, but I don't think it's a reflection of Eugene not being a good player. I think he's just decided that if he's subbing for a linebacker, he wants someone who will be effective in run support. It leads to some mismatches in the passing game, however.Richard Pittmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10954274832253925197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6700188048314290923.post-17779142191150512842007-11-05T10:15:00.000-06:002007-11-05T10:15:00.000-06:00I think McRay is on the field more in nickel situa...I think McRay is on the field more in nickel situations b/c he is a tremendous blitzer/run stopper. I do think that playing McRay and Jones, as good as they are, and not playing Hawkins or Eugene is going to come back and bite us in our ass next year when our CBs will be first time starters and their backups will be RS-Fr.APhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00390972137193610389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6700188048314290923.post-56869340880750572602007-11-05T08:55:00.000-06:002007-11-05T08:55:00.000-06:00Good point, Rob.

I guess it takes some players longer to learn the intricacies of the cornerback position. He DOES seem to be a "team player"; always encouraging others. <BR/><BR/>-DanielAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6700188048314290923.post-4841295615105733342007-11-05T07:56:00.000-06:002007-11-05T07:56:00.000-06:00I like the point about McCray, he has been getting...I like the point about McCray, he has been getting abused in man coverage for a while now. To be fair though he isn't a corner he's a safety, makes you wonder about Eugene and how bad he must be that we keep sticking McCray in.Bayou Banterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04542427600169460278noreply@blogger.com
